<\/a>Of course every parent believes that their baby or child is the cutest, and my husband and I were no exception. In fact, the first thing that my husband John said when Kyle was born was “he’s so cute!” over and over again.<\/p>\n When Kyle was around 3 months, my brother and sister-in-law were telling me about a friend of theirs who had her son with a modeling agency<\/a>. I contacted their friend and asked her what she thought about the agency and the overall experience. She said that it was actually a lot of fun! So I immediately went and signed Kyle up. It wasn’t long before we received an e-mail for his first photo shoot<\/a>. It was a cover-shoot for a Harlequin romance<\/a> novel, how could I say no \ud83d\ude09 For those of you picturing Kyle with his shirt off rescuing a girl baby from a burning building, it wasn\u2019t quite that cool. He was wearing a sailor\u2019s outfit though!\u00a0 And it was a lot of fun.<\/p>\n Since the start of his professional baby “modeling career”, Kyle has had over 10 calls and has made over $700 (after his \u201cagent\u201d took their cut). Not bad for an 18 month old.\u00a0 Unfortunately, he\u2019s a terrible saver and has managed to spend all of this money! I regularly receive questions about how I got Kyle into modeling and what it’s like, what agency we use, etc… so, here are the details for anyone interested in having a little fun and who wants to put their kids with a model and talent agency<\/a>.<\/p>\n Kyle\u2019s with Minor Details agency (http:\/\/www.minordetails.ca\/<\/a>), owned and managed by Lee Gallagher-Ingram, a former model. We paid $50 upfront (and annually thereafter) and sent in a picture of Kyle with a few details such as height, weight, hair and eye colour. Within a few weeks we got an e-mail telling us where we have to show up to the next day for the photo shoot. We can either reply back saying “we’ll be there” or not. It’s as simple as that, no hassles. Of course, if you reject too many, you might be overlooked for future opportunities.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Most of the shoots take place during the week between 9am and 5pm. However, for babies and toddlers, it’s usually between 9am and 11am. Therefore, if you’re working full-time, this is probably not right for your family. But if you have the time and access to a car and only one or two kids to care for, this might work out well for you.<\/p>\n
